Using the Chebotko Method to Design Sound and Scalable Data Models for Apache Cassandra

Dr. Artem Chebotko, DataStax

Apache Cassandra is a leading open-source, distributed database for modern cloud applications. It is known for its instantaneous response time, linear scalability to very large datasets and millions of transactions per second, always-on availability, and seamless multi-data center support. Data modeling is the primary challenge to adopting Apache Cassandra in your data layer. In this talk, we present a rigorous and practical data modeling approach that ensures sound and efficient Apache Cassandra database schema design. Based on a selected use case, we demonstrate key techniques for designing conceptual, logical, and physical data models for a Cassandra database. You will learn about the Apache Cassandra data model, query language, query-driven data modeling methodology, data model visualization techniques, and relevant tools.
